Answer: the expression representing the perimeter of the field is 4x + 280

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a figure is the distance around it.

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2 (length + width)

The length of a football field is x. The width of the field is 70 yards less than the length. This means that the width of the football field is x - 70 yards.

an expression that represents the perimeter of the field without parentheses would be

Perimeter = 2 (x + x - 70) = 2 (2x + 70)

= 4x + 280
